Tundra TRD Coilover Help

[A-dog]

After reading a lot on here about using the Tundra TRD coilovers on our 3rd gens, I found a 2002 Tundra TRD at a local salvage yard. I was considering pulling them off the Tundra to use on my 2002 sport. Based on the pictures, are these the ones that everyone is using? They are asking $80 each (160 for the pair), which seems a bit steep for them. I am assuming these are the original ones that came on the car, which means them have 150,000 plus miles on them. Do you think they are worth it? Also, could I use the rear Bilstein struts from this Tundra on my 2002 4runner if I order some new coil springs? Thanks for your help!

Springs are identified by color coding. No colors, no identification.

I just did the mod last week. I paid $129 (ea) for new springs so I guess it would depend on your money status but I would only want to do it once.

I did not notice any obvious coloring or marks on either coil. Maybe I wasn't looking carefully enough...

These are probably the correct springs as the correct springs came on the yellow bilstein shocks. This having been said I think the price is a little high because while you want the spring you do NOT want the shocks. They will ride really rough and are far from ideal for a 4Runner. The shocks you want are the Bilstein 5100's series these have a brushed aluminum housing

Yoter, thanks for that reply. I figured 80 each was a bit pricey.

Pass.

Possibly remind them that shocks with 150k on them are at the end of their life, I would offer them 140 for the springs. I think that is a fair price.
